Mass shootings have become so common in the U.S. that there is now a script for city officials to follow in the aftermath.

Written by UnitedOnGuns, part of the Public Health Advocacy Institute at Northeastern University School of Law, the checklist guides mayors and city managers through the first 24 hours after a shooting and outlines the major decisions they will have to make.

"Mayors often don't realize what their role is until a shooting happens in their community," UnitedOnGuns Director Sarah Peck says. "What we're trying to do is give them the tools they need to understand the magnitude of their role, which starts when the shooting starts and can continue for years."
